“Because of the covenant I made with you, sealed with blood, I will free your prisoners from death in a waterless dungeon.
With His own blood—not the blood of goats and calves—He entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.
Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered Himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.
For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.”
{Zechariah 9:11; Hebrews 9:12, 14; 1 Peter 1:18-19}
